Course Description

In the United States, an estimated 10 million new cases of menorrhagia are reported annually, resulting in an overall prevalence of approximately 20%, and a substantial personal burden of disease. Global Endometrial Ablation (GEA) represents a minimally invasive approach to treating menorrhagia. Join us in this CME activity, which will: (1) examine the current procedures used for endometrial ablation; (2) compare and contrast methods used for endometrial ablation, including the clinical outcomes; (3) evaluate the suitability of current endometrial ablation treatments as in-office procedures; and (4) examine strategies for pain management with endometrial ablation procedures.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:

Compare and contrast the risks versus benefits of current procedures used for endometrial ablation

Differentiate various methods used for endometrial ablation, and their clinical outcomes, to make the most appropriate selection for the patient

Evaluate current procedures used for endometrial ablation from the perspective of their suitability as in-office procedures
